Talent Identification Program (TIP)

  • Pinellas County Schools is pleased to announce we are in our sixth year of TIP (Talent Identification Program) aimed at high performing seventh grade students at each of our Pinellas County Middle School sites.  Students are identified based on criteria set by the district and they are invited to participate in our program.  Registration forms will be available at your child's middle school. Please ask to speak to the TIP Coordinator.  This program requires a paper application and no online application is available to participate on this testing day.  
     
    Parent information sessions are held throughout the process to inform parents of the testing process and how to interpret the scores once they are received. Again, those dates are obtained through the school. 
     
    Pinellas County Schools seventh grade students, who have registered,  will take the SAT test at one of five Pinellas County Middle School test locations. These test locations are for Pinellas County TIP students only. By participating in our TIP program students had the opportunity to test with their peers in an environment more familiar to them rather than at a high school with older students.
     
    Pinellas County Middle School Packets:  Are available in schools now!  Please see the TIP Coordinator at your child's school.  
    Application Deadline: February 2, 2018 
    Pinellas County Middle School Testing Date:   Saturday, March 10, 2018
     
    Pinellas County Schools students who qualify to participate in TIP also will receive information about our STEM Honors Summer Camp.  Parents should plan to attend the Parent Information Meeting at the test site after you check in  your child the morning of the test.  
     
    Families are responsible for test and camp fees.

Middle School Course Recovery

  • Second Semester Course Recovery Options

     
    At times students struggle in some of their coursework.   It is our intention to help every student be successful, help them move forward and prepare them for the future.  Middle schools are currently running course recovery programs for students who find it necessary to recover a course after first semester grades.  Each school site has a program.  Please inquire at the school if your student is in need and not currently taking advantage of the program. 
     

    Summer Course Recovery Options

    The Middle School Course Recovery program is offered for middle school students who were previously not successful in completing a middle school core course. Course recovery courses will be offered in math, science, social studies and language arts. Students should check with their guidance counselor for eligibility. Transportation will not be provided.
    For more information, contact Dywayne B. Hinds, Executive Director, Middle School Education, at 727-588-6453 or via email at hindsdy@pscb.org.
